Slumdog Millionaire, which tells the rags-to-riches tale of an orphan from a
slum in Mumbai, won four Golden Globe awards and has been nominated for 11
Baftas. But there is little upbeat or ambitious about the slums, and some
newspapers have criticised Boyle for romanticising the slums and peddling
such grim realities as the beggar mafia, prostitution and crime as "Indian
exotica"
